Scientists in Italy conducted a small study on 40 volunteers in their late 40s and early 50s, and on another group of women aged 37 to 45. Both groups reported improvements in their sex lives after eight weeks, and scientists concluded the pill 'significantly improves sexual function'.
Dr Graham Jackson, chairman of the Sexual Advice Association and a cardiologist at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London, told the Daily Mail that the circulation theory behind Lady Prelox may prove correct.
He added: 'We know that in men sexual dysfunction is mainly a vascular problem.
'We don't have any concrete evidence of this in women yet, but I suspect there may turn out to be a link.'
However, obstetrician and gynaecologist Andy Heeps said he was sceptical of the claims.
'Female sexual dysfunction is a complex area. There's no single cause and so there's no single magic bullet,' Mr Heeps added.
Dr Jackson also cautioned that such pills worked on the basis that desire was already there.
'These aren't aphrodisiacs,' he warned. 'If you're not turned on by your partner, no amount of tablets will help.'
Lady Prelox is the female version of Prelox for men. Launched in 2010, annual European sales for Prelox now top £10 million.
